STERLING HEIGHT POLICE WANT TO GET THESE GUYS OFF THE STREETS QUICKLY. BACK TO YOU. HAWN, THANK YOU. THE FUTURE OF DETROIT HINGES A LOT ON WHAT HAPPENS IN LANSING. THE GRAND BARGAIN WILL BE VOTED ON ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND WHERE DOES IT STAND AND WHAT IS DETROIT DOING TO HELP ITSELF HERE? FOR THOSE ANSWERS BRING IN OUR BUSINESS EDITOR MUCH ROD MALONEY. WHAT A WEEK, ROD. Reporter: WHAT A WEEK IN Reporter: WHAT A WEEK INDEED, DEFENSEEN. A LITTLE LIGHT READING IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF SOME SLEEP -- LAUGH -- BECAUSE THESE ARE THE 11 BILLS THAT GO IN THIS PACKAGE AND IN FACTOR THIS GOING THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE RIGHT NOW AND WE JUST FOUND OUT A FEW MINUTES AGO THAT THE VOTE THAT MAY HAPPEN TODAY OR TOMORROW WILL BE PUSHED OFF UNTIL NEXT WEEK BECAUSE 55, 66 IS GETTING AN OVERALL. BUT TODAY, THE CITY OF DET BUT TODAY, THE CITY OF DETROIT, PARTICULARLY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL DECIDED TO GET TO LANCE DECIDED TO GET TO LANCING TO TRY TO MAKE THEIR CASE. Reporter: DETROIT MAYOR MIKE DUGGAN AND BRENDA JONES AND BEFORE THE COMMITTEE WATCHING TWO ROW BACKS WAS A UNIFIED DETROIT CITY COUNCIL. THE BIGGEST CONCERN LEGI THE BIGGEST CONCERN LEGISLATURES HAVE -- LEGISLATORS HAVE IS IF DETROIT HAS LEARNED IS LESSONS. DUGGIN TRIED REASSURANCE. WE ARE NOT GOING TO COME BACK IN TWO YEARS, FOUR YEARS, SIX YEARS, THAT YOU SOLVE THIS ONCE. YOU WILL BE CONFIDENT IF YOU SOLVE IT ONCE YOU WILL BE PROUD OF THE WAY PROCESS IS MADE. JONES WENT TO THE MORE BASIC APPROACH. DETROIT AND THE STATE WITH EACH OTHER THE TRUTH IS THAT DETROIT IS TIED TO MICHIGAN'S FUTURE. SO IT MAKES GOOD MOR AL AND BUSINESS SENSE TO SUPPORT THE CITY'S RECOVERY. I AM NOT THERE YET ON THIS PACKAGE OF BILLS. I WILL BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU. Reporter: A LOT OF LEGISLATORS NEEDING CONVINCING INCLUDING STATE REPRESENTATIVES HARVEY SAN REPRESENTATIVES HARVEY SANTANA. DUGGANS SAYS HE THINKS THIS CAN CONCEDE THOUGH. WE HAVE BEEN IN A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS AND LOTS OF MEETINGS AND I AM HOPEFUL BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK WE WILL GET A BILL OUT OF THE HOUSE THAT WILL BOTH PROVIDE THE SUPPORT TO THE, BUT GIVE THE STAY CLEAR PATH TO SELF-DETERMINATION REPORT THAT CORE PATH TO SELF-DETERMINATION HAS SOME ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE IS CALLING FOR AN A-MI NUSHTION S BOND RATING AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT SINCE THE EARLY 1960s. THAT BAR IS TOO HIGH. SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT COME DOWN. MIKE DUGGIN DOESN'T MINE OVERSIGHT THE NEXT 20 YEARS BUT BELIEVES A CARROT AND STICK APPROACH THAT IS NOT IN HERE AS WELL. STILL A LOT OF TALKING TO BE DONE. THIS IS DELAYED ANOTHER WEEK. THAT IS NOT GOOD IN TERMS OF THE PROSPECT OF WHERE THIS IS. IT GIVES TIME TO GET THIS
